Once upon a time master links could be released by even the simplest of peasants, but as cassettes began to move past 10 speeds on their never ending quest to grow as large as your wheel, chains became narrower, and the master links became more and more unwilling to relinquish their grip upon your drivetrain.

In our time, the age of the Eagle, a mystical tool is required to unlock the 'toolless' links on 10-12 speed chains, as even the most powerful of mortals cannot muster the strength required to release those greasy shackles, no matter how foul be the curses that tumble forth from their lips.

Known as Master Link Removal Pliers, these tools are imbued with magical properties that will instantly unlock stubborn master links of any creed with merely a click of the fingers (almost).

Rejoice weary adventurer because your quest is nearing its end, and as the bearer of this hallowed tool you will become the Master Of The Links.
